It's been a while since I set this up, but I recall at some point I had to
make statically-linked version of tar, gzip, et al...  I think ls is
static by default, does that work?  You can go into /usr/src and find tar
and gzip and in the makefile add -STATIC to LDFLAGS.  After you make, copy
those into the ~ftp/bin directory.

Hope that helps,

Charles
